Abstract
A light waveguide cable includes a compartment holding at least two side-by-side stacks of light waveguide ribbons. The cable is so dimensioned that the order of the ribbons within any stack, and the relative positions of the stacks with respect to each other within any compartment, do not change under normal cable handling conditions.
Claims9
A cable comprising a compartment holding at least two stacks of light waveguide ribbons, said stacks abutting each other in a side-by-side relation, wherein the relative order of the light waveguide ribbons within any stack does not change under normal cable handling conditions.
A cable comprising a compartment holding at least two units abutting each other in a side-by-side relation, each unit comprising a thin layer of thermoplastic extruded over a stack of light waveguide ribbons.
A cable comprising a compartment holding at least two stacks of light waveguide ribbons each bounded by a wrapped tape or thread, said stacks abutting each other in a side-by-side relation, wherein the relative order of the light waveguide ribbons within any stack cannot change under normal cable handling conditions.
